Subject: Should this woman be granted access to daughter's funeral?

This woman murdered her 2 year old daughter by suffocating her, then stuffing her into a box and putting it in a closet...now, she feels that she should be able to attend the funeral. They granted her 1/2 hr. at the viewing ONLY.....I think she was rather lucky to have been able to have THAT much access. I really don't think she deserves to be at either.

I say no. You brutally murder your own flesh and blood, showing absolutely no regard for her life, and now you want to mourn her? No way. I'd drop kick that woman out if I saw her.

Amen. And if her family knew she was suffering from depression, then why the hell didn't they help her?

Ms. Watts should be given the benefit of a mental hospital.
Is it really possible for a sane woman to kill her own child?

It takes something more than "depression" to drive a mother to suffocate her toddler in a box!
I don't know what legal standing she has, but I'd say no.

Myself, I say she should get a private viewing, but not allowed at the funeral.
While what she did was horrid, she is still "innocent until proven guilty".
She has obvious mental problems. But I still feel she has a right to say goodbye to her daughter. Hopefully, it will help her learn to deal with it, and she is now going to get the help she so badly needs.

She better hope she said goodbye to her when she was choking the life out of her, because that's all the goodbyes she deserves. I can't feel pity for a woman, or for any parent that takes the life of their own child. I just can't. Letting her go to the funeral is showing pity. "Oh poor baby, go see the child you killed so you can get 'closure'." Please.

Notice, I said she should not be allowed at the funeral. And I said nothing about "closure". To me, that is largely a psychobably word.
But she has not been convicted in a court of law yet, so she still has at least some rights.

As much as it kills me to say this as a parent, I have to agree. While it is likely that she DID do it, there is no proof and if it comes out that she really didn't have anything to do with the murder, I'd hate for her to NOT have had the opportunity to say goodbye.

I never said you said that. Those were MY comments.

what makes me mad too, is that on the news...her attorneys were saying things like, "oh, before the fact that she's a murderer, she's a grieving mother"....I'm sorry, but I don't agree with that.

You said it better than I could've, and I agree 100%.
I'd drop kick that woman out if I saw her.
I'd be in prison for attempted murder if I saw her.

I think she should be allowed to see her daughter. You shouldn't judge until all the facts come out, it may also be a way of bringing home the sheer enormity of what she has done if she did do it.

Somehow, I don't think she'll comprehend the "sheer enormity" of what she did. She killed her kid because she was CRYING. Children cry, if you can't handle that, then close your f*cking legs and don't breed. My sister made her decision not to have kids because she has a fiery temper and knows she would never be able to handle a child and would probably do something horrible.
If she didn't do it, then yeah, I'll feel like an ass for judging. But from the sound of the articles I read, it was all her.

My God, what a gorgeous little girl. How horrible. I can't fathom taking the life of a child...let alone your own child. She has to be insane. If she's that far gone I can't see how going to the viewing would make much of a difference to her.

My first thought was that she should have been forced to sit through her baby's autopsy, but then I thought that sounded rather gruesome.
No, she should not be allowed to go to the funeral.

LMAO! Karma++!
Darned, you sound like my sister! (A very high compliment)
My first thought was this woman should be stabbed in the ovaries with a rusty oyster-shucking knife. Did I say that? I mean be forced to have a hysterectomy by a competent and licensed physician while under appropriate anaesthesia.
But, as Mushroom pointed out, she is "innocent until proven guilty".
